More Alaska Eagles.

These guys were truly wild! They are not near any humans on a regular basis so they were quite skiddish as well. Again, from my fly in lake trip this week...

I like the feeling of the second one. The moss gives a cool ambiance.

The trees were covered with moss like this all over. the lake is "brackish" which means it is a salt chuck, which means when the tide comes up some of it flows INTO the lake. The lake is FULL of weeds and moss...horrible on a prop...I was always having to pull the engine up and clean out the moss....LOL
